Iris Caballero, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Iris!

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here, and I look forward to partnering with you. In our sessions, we will work together to build practical tools and skills that help you navigate difficult emotions and life's challenges. My goal is to support you in moving past roadblocks so you can live a rich, meaningful, and full life.

My focus

My ideal clients are individuals ready to actively work toward change. We will openly discuss what brought you to therapy, and if old patterns or past experiences resurface, we will process them together honestly and directly. We won't get stuck in the past, but we will address it so it stops blocking your path.

My approach

My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative. We will focus entirely on the goals you set for yourself, using practical, evidence-based tools to navigate difficult thoughts and emotions. Together, we will actively work through your challenges so you can move forward and live a full, meaningful life.

My communication style

When we are in session, you have my full attention. Between appointments, you can send me a message, and we will find a time to schedule a session to discuss what is happening. My communication style is clear and direct. I set a tone of absolute honesty, and I will always encourage you to be courageous about the goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began through my work in hospitals, dialysis clinics, and community agencies. In those fast-paced, high-stakes environments, I saw firsthand how quickly life can change and how overwhelming it feels to get stuck in difficult circumstances or heavy emotions.

My goals for you

Goal-setting in my practice is collaborative, direct, and completely focused on what you want to achieve. We start by clarifying your personal values to set clear, meaningful goals for the life you want to build. To help you reach them, we use practical, evidence-based tools that provide real-time skills for managing difficult emotions.

Our first session

In our first session, we will start by reviewing expectations for our time together so you know exactly what to anticipate. I will be listening to what brought you to therapy and what you are currently experiencing. This initial conversation allows us to review your challenges and goals, helping us determine if we are a good fit.
